A Summary of our Planning for our/Inviting our Focus Group

Our focus group would consist of Olivia's family, brother, mother, grandmother and other family members. We are going to pitch the idea to them and explain the concept to them then begin to ask questions:

1. What do you think of the overall idea, is it original or have you seen it done before?
2. What do you think could be improved with the idea? Are there any concepts that you don't think would work or need improving?
3. Is this what you would expect of a film of this genre?
4. What sort of things would you expect to see in terms of costumes, props, set etc.?
5. Would you go out of your way to see the film?
6. Do you think our opening sequence would draw in the audience well?

We will also ask other questions as we discuss our film idea with the Focus group.

This is the letter we have sent out to invite them:

Outside of the focus group, Chris will also interview people out of our focus group, as he has been absent through a lot of the focus groups planning, which Olivia and I have been largely working on, and because of this it is more convenient for him to interview people outside of the focus group and work further on getting more information from other members of the public. His questions are:

•  After hearing our idea, do you think it fits the genre we are aiming for, how and if not why?

•  Do you think the angle of having a girl doing something desperate to be noticed by a guy is a scenario that is expected? 
• What aspect if any would you change if you had the chance?
• Is this a film you would particularly like to view?
• What do think about the setting of the film?
• Is this idea would only appeal to the younger part of the family audience?
• Do you feel that the opening two minutes that we discussed would engage your interest?
